Absolute dating vs relative dating fossils

Relative dating methods include fossil assemblages (groupings of various fossils commonly associated with each other) found in various localities not physically connected.

We will discuss the key geologic points that the authors make showing that a world-wide flood has never occurred, or cannot account for the Grand Canyon, but Id like to take some time and discuss the authors Biblical Problems with flood geology. Walton, Ph D, in which Genesis was not written to us, but for us.

While most of what the authors claim regarding the literal reading of the Biblical text are accurate, there is a major interpretation that they rely on which, by many modern theologians, isnt fully accepted in Evangelical circles. We are to take the Genesis account with Understanding the ancient (sic) Near East (ANE) mindset.

According to Walton, Genesis isnt about the structure of the physical world, but about the function of the physical world.

Upon this concept, the Biblical aspect of how the authors interpret the geologic record is built. We can view the text, especially in Genesis One and Two, as written to us and we can see how it does affirm the current scientific models for the creation of the Universe and of life on Earth.

Again, the authors knowledge and experience in these areas comes through with an understanding that any layman can grasp.

Part Three focuses in on the fossils of the Grand Canyon.

Lets discuss what we should find in the geologic record concerning spores and pollen.

If there was a global flood, you would expect a thorough mixing of all the seeds, spores, and pollen.

Discussions of animal, plant and trace fossils are included in three separate chapters, and they are all excellent.

There is one topic that the authors discussed which Id like to bring to the forefront microscopic spores and pollen.
